The Illex Tiny Fry swimmer is now available in a new size: 65 SP. This minnow is one of the most iconic products in the European market. For over 20 years, the Tiny Fry range has become a reference for predatory fish and trout in rivers and lakes, and this 6.5 cm version brilliantly carries on this heritage.
Technical Features of Tiny Fry 65 SP:
- Length: 6.5 cm
- Weight: 5.6 g
- Type: Suspending (neutral density)
- Swimming depth: 1 meter
- Action: Wobbnroll
- Hooks: 2x BKK BN 7552B #10
- Armament: Triple hooking for optimal success rate
Despite its compact size, the Tiny Fry 65 SP generates exceptionally powerful vibrations and pronounced wiggling that attracts predators from long distances. Its wobbnroll action produces a hypnotic lateral rolling coupled with captivating light flashes thanks to its shimmering sides.
Its particular corpulent body design coupled with its thin and durable bib gives the lure excellent stability in the current. Even when facing strong water flows, the Tiny Fry maintains a stable trajectory without disorienting or twisting, which is essential for river fishing.
The Tiny Fry 65 SP excels in several animation registers:
- Twitching: Short dry pulls of the rod make the lure react nervously, imitating a baitfish in distress. Sudden changes in direction trigger reflex attacks from lurking predators.
- Jerking: Larger pulls create pronounced deviations followed by suspension phases. The suspending model remains suspended between two waters during breaks, a critical moment when most attacks occur.
- Linear recovery: A simple regular recovery is enough to trigger the natural wobbnroll action of the lure, perfect for quickly prospecting vast areas.
The Tiny Fry 65 SP's neutral suspending density is its secret weapon. During breaks in the animation, the lure remains stationary in the water layer, giving hesitant predators the necessary time to attack. This characteristic is particularly effective on educated or apathetic fish that refuse lures that are too fast.
The Tiny Fry 65 SP attracts a wide variety of freshwater predators:
- Fario and rainbow trout: ideal size to target salmonids in rivers and reservoirs
- Common perches: The zebra fish can't resist this baitfish or minnow imitation
- Chubs: Carnivorous cyprinids particularly appreciate its realistic swimming action
- Black-bass: Effective during spring to autumn on bass in bodies of water
- Asp: Deadly on these swift fighters in fast currents
This versatile minnow is useful in many situations:
- River currents: Excellent stability against flows, prospecting veins and counter-currents
- Lakes and ponds: Exploration of the edges, seagrass and shallow areas up to 1 meter
- Clearwater: The detailed finishes excel in high visibility conditions
- Winter fishing: The slowed-down suspending animation is suitable for lethargic fish
The Tiny Fry 65 SP is equipped with high-quality BKK BN 7552B #10 hooks, guaranteeing a clean sting and resistance to corrosion. The holographic finishes and resistant paints ensure remarkable longevity even after numerous catches.
As a legacy of a legendary lineage, the Tiny Fry 65 SP stands out as an essential lure in any predatory fisherman's box. Its ease of use makes it accessible to beginners while its formidable effectiveness satisfies the most demanding.
